The First Gospel Chapter 95: There is only one truth
The incident dates back to the night of the parents' meeting. After Gu Yun rushed home recklessly, Wang Lu originally planned to follow him, but was intercepted by Teacher Wu halfway. She heard from somewhere that the two were engaged in exorcism work, so she put forward her own conditions.
"She wants us to continue investigating the legend of Bloody Mary."
"Then why didn't you tell me then?"
Gu Yun asked, he was not the kind of person who would slack off.
"Because this matter is a bit complicated." Wang Lu said, "This is related to a missing case more than ten years ago. I asked many friends to find out the situation at that time. Then I made an amazing discovery - Teacher Wu seemed to be a classmate of the missing student."
Among the many materials was a class photo from that time, and Wang Lu found the young Teacher Wu in the photo.
The missing person case was ultimately unsolved, and the mystery remains to this day.
So Wang Lu came up with a guess.
After many years, Teacher Wu hid his true identity and returned to his alma mater, perhaps to investigate the incident. Another strange thing is that the rumor about Bloody Mary only appeared recently. Apart from the girl who disappeared more than ten years ago, there have been no other unsolved cases nearby.
However, just as he was about to continue his on-site investigation, a witch society appeared, and the high school that Gu Tiantian attended was temporarily suspended.
Wang Lu felt that these two things were not accidental, so he contacted Teacher Wu again.
Later, he inexplicably became their operational consultant - he realized that although Teacher Wu's colleagues all had unique skills, they didn't seem to be very good at supernatural events.
They also knew nothing about witches, a group that existed only in legends.
"Tell me, why did you target that high school?"
This was why Wang Lu had to tell Avril the results of his investigation. He took out the voodoo doll he had seized from Ge Liu and placed it on the dining table. “Why would you give such a dangerous item to an ordinary student?”
"this is……"
Avril subconsciously reached out her hand, but Wang Lu snatched the voodoo doll back before she could touch it.
"Hey! What do you want to do? Don't act rashly!"
The sound startled Avril and also attracted the attention of people at several tables around.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong! Please don't hit me!"
Avril pulled back and held her head in her hands.
"I told you not to get startled."
Gu Yun also frowned. Wang Lu's sudden weird cry just now caused him to bite the barbecue skewer off.
"But once this thing falls into the hands of a witch, the destructive power will be unimaginable. It's like... putting Mentos in Coke!"
What on earth is this man talking about?
Gu Yun had three question marks on his head. He had heard of Coke, but he really didn't know what Mentos was. He looked at Avril, "Do you recognize this thing?"
"The mistress and the seniors seem to be looking for it..."
Not only the voodoo doll, but also the white rabbit that can bring luck to people is what they are looking for. Unfortunately, the voodoo doll was taken away by someone before they did, and the mother herself failed to bring back the white rabbit.
"Wait a minute, you mean, this isn't what you gave to Ge Liu?"
"Yes, the association only recruits female members, and manipulating this kind of cursed item requires a series of strict steps. It will definitely not be handed over directly to ordinary people."
"That's strange."
Ge Liu not only got the voodoo doll, but was also able to exert its power.
No, maybe not surprising.
Could it be that the witches' sudden visit to City X was actually for the same purpose as theirs?
"Tell me, why are you looking for these things?"
"I don't know either…… "
"Um?"
"I, I'm just an apprentice at the lowest level... But I heard a rumor when I was in the association." Avril paused for a while before speaking: "The seniors said that when fighting the demon hunter, the mistress was also seriously injured. Although she survived, her magic power was seriously damaged. She has been looking for a way to restore her magic power... But this is just hearsay. Please don't hit me even if it's wrong."
Avril felt that the rumor was not credible because Marianne Thessia was definitely the most powerful witch she had ever seen. Because of this, during her centuries-long rule, no other witch dared to stand up and disobey the orders of the mistress.
If Marianne is in a severely damaged state now, who knows how powerful she would be in her prime?
So she thought this might be a rumor spread by the mistress to consolidate her rule and to completely eliminate the witches' thoughts of rebellion.
"So, what she's looking for isn't the voodoo doll and the white rabbit, but the person who brought them back to the world."
The latter, more accurately speaking, is God.
A god who can fulfill all wishes, including healing Marianne Thessia's old injuries.
"Well said, I'll give you a bunch of chicken skin as a reward."
Wang Lu handed Avril a string of chicken skin, and the latter lowered her head and began to eat it in small bites.
"Gu Yun, maybe we can take advantage of this."
"No, we should find a way to rescue An Ling first."
"Oh, yes, saving An Ling is the real thing."
only……
Isn’t An Ling too unlucky?
She was almost pushed off the rails by an evil spirit, almost scratched to death by a rabbit, almost crushed to death by a chandelier, and now she was simply kidnapped by a witch. All these incredible events happened within a month. Her experiences are probably richer than most people's entire lives.
This girl might become famous if she writes her experiences into "An Ling's Bizarre Adventure" one day.
"I'll ask Mr. Wu to keep an eye on the witch's movements. You can take her out early tomorrow morning and try your luck."
Although Avril said she didn't know where An Ling and the others were sent, she could recognize other witches. If she was lucky enough...
Wait, speaking of luck.
"Take the white rabbit with you when you go out. This way you should be safe."
The price of changing your destiny is to invite extreme misfortune. However, for Gu Yun, misfortune does not exist. Neither the falling billboards nor the bus rushing towards the platform can hurt him.
Wang Lu felt that if a nuclear bomb were to fall on City X, Gu Yun might still be able to survive the explosion.
"Good idea, don't you mind?"
Gu Yun asked Avril.
"No……"
Avril held the chicken skin and ate it with relish. After finishing a string, she began to stare at the plate in the middle of the dining table.
The barbecue in City X is very different from that in her hometown. She didn't expect that this seemingly cheap food could be so delicious. After a night of worry and fear, only the barbecue could bring her a little warmth in this cold weather.
I want to eat another skewer.
But she was also afraid that Wang Lu would think she was taking things too far and hit her.
From the moment she sat down, the middle-aged man opposite her had been rude to her.
"Eat if you want." Gu Yun observed Avril's little movements, "I don't have the hobby of abusing prisoners."
